Howdy Candies, I’m over the moon excited to bring to you a special new line of ‘tools’ that I honestly have no idea how I’ve lived without! It’s totally rejuvenated my passion & love for paper-crafting in a whole new way and I’m just smitten as I’ve totally Fallen in Love with Kiwi Lane Designs. So much sooo that I can officially announce that they personally contacted me to ask if I would share a New Design to highlight on their blog for their Technique Spotlight – “Ideas That Inspire”, how Ah-mazing is this!?! The wonderful thing is that they are looking to share this with others locally here in the Treasure Valley area and would love to feature New Ideas and techniques with their incredible ‘tool’ and process of “Framing”. What is “Framing”? Well I’m going to take you on a journey through the process of “Framing” using their DT’s ‘tool’…so without further ado Photos: (To leave a comment, thoughts, suggestions, or feedback - just click the title to this post & scroll to the bottom)

Step 3: Replace the DT’s position and adhered my pieces down with adhesive.
I also wanted to add some stamping from my NEW “Words of Comfort” C1524 My Acrylix CTMH stamp set to the DT “Tiny Wildflower” 3T mini floral B&T.
